Ok...I might sound like I'm rambling, and I probably am. But it's 4:12am
and I just feel like writing something.

Anyways, I went to the doctor yesterday and I had a whole bunch 'o' tests
done on me and schtuff. This summer I got really sick and my lungs were in
absolutely terrible shape. I had lost a lot of weight, and I felt really
bad at times, because all I did was sit in an office all day. I almost had
to be admitted into the hospital. Then, yesterday I learned that I was
finally back to normal after many months of very rigorous physical activity
(aka getting in shape :) - and everything else. NO Medicines -- Mr. ZA does
not believe in all these drugs -- the mind can do anything. And it did.

Oh well, I just like to say positive things as often as possible (especially
since so much undesirable schtuff happens a lot)...but I'm like that. And I
know all my friends like to hear good things too. And I know I have the
support of everyone, which keeps me going. I could've easily let things
slip this summer, and let myself get all fucked up and everything (excuse my
language, but that's really how I felt) But that's not how I wanted it --
if nothing else, I did it for all my family and friends. My life is so good
right now that there's absolutely no reason to be so careless like I was at
one point. But everything is good now. My next step is trying to finish
paying off all those credit card bills :) (I'm about halfway there -- I'll
give everyone another happy e-mail when that's done too!)

Allright, TTYL
